1فاجاب الرب ايوب فقال
1Moreover Yahweh answered Job,
2هل يخاصم القدير موبّخه ام المحاجّ الله يجاوبه
2“Shall he who argues contend with the Almighty? He who argues with God, let him answer it.”
3فاجاب ايوب الرب وقال
3Then Job answered Yahweh,
4ها انا حقير فماذا اجاوبك. وضعت يدي على فمي.
4“Behold, I am of small account. What shall I answer you? I lay my hand on my mouth.
5مرة تكلمت فلا اجيب ومرتين فلا ازيد
5I have spoken once, and I will not answer; Yes, twice, but I will proceed no further.”
6فاجاب الرب ايوب من العاصفة فقال
6Then Yahweh answered Job out of the whirlwind,
7الآن شدّ حقويك كرجل. اسألك فتعلمني.
7“Now brace yourself like a man. I will question you, and you will answer me.
8لعلك تناقض حكمي. تستذنبني لكي تتبرر انت.
8Will you even annul my judgment? Will you condemn me, that you may be justified?
9هل لك ذراع كما لله وبصوت مثل صوته ترعد.
9Or do you have an arm like God? Can you thunder with a voice like him?
10تزيّن الآن بالجلال والعزّ والبس المجد والبهاء.
10“Now deck yourself with excellency and dignity. Array yourself with honor and majesty.
11فرّق فيض غضبك وانظر كل متعظم واخفضه.
11Pour out the fury of your anger. Look at everyone who is proud, and bring him low.
12انظر الى كل متعظم وذلّله ودس الاشرار في مكانهم.
12Look at everyone who is proud, and humble him. Crush the wicked in their place.
13اطمرهم في التراب معا واحبس وجوههم في الظلام.
13Hide them in the dust together. Bind their faces in the hidden place.
14فانا ايضا احمدك لان يمينك تخلصك
14Then I will also admit to you that your own right hand can save you.
15هوذا بهيموث الذي صنعته معك. ياكل العشب مثل البقر.
15“See now, behemoth, which I made as well as you. He eats grass as an ox.
16ها هي قوته في متنيه وشدته في عضل بطنه.
16Look now, his strength is in his thighs. His force is in the muscles of his belly.
17يخفض ذنبه كارزة. عروق فخذيه مضفورة.
17He moves his tail like a cedar. The sinews of his thighs are knit together.
18عظامه انابيب نحاس. جرمها حديد ممطول.
18His bones are like tubes of brass. His limbs are like bars of iron.
19هو اول اعمال الله. الذي صنعه اعطاه سيفه.
19He is the chief of the ways of God. He who made him gives him his sword.
20لان الجبال تخرج له مرعى وجميع وحوش البر تلعب هناك.
20Surely the mountains produce food for him, where all the animals of the field play.
21تحت السدرات يضطجع في ستر القصب والغمقة.
21He lies under the lotus trees, in the covert of the reed, and the marsh.
22تظلله السدرات بظلها. يحيط به صفصاف السواقي.
22The lotuses cover him with their shade. The willows of the brook surround him.
23هوذا النهر يفيض فلا يفر هو. يطمئن ولو اندفق الاردن في فمه.
23Behold, if a river overflows, he doesn’t tremble. He is confident, though the Jordan swells even to his mouth.
24هل يؤخذ من امامه. هل يثقب انفه بخزامة
24Shall any take him when he is on the watch, or pierce through his nose with a snare?
